Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years
Chapter 23 From now on, we are brothers next door
Lu Zhenyuan glanced at the remaining 150 points of collapse value.
It seems that in order to earn the collapse value, one must actively cause or promote an event.
Just like just now, the cheap sister beat Yan Jiecheng. It was an accidental event for him. Without his encouragement, it would not be counted as a collapse value.
The hit he made with the stick caused Yan Jie to split his legs, which directly resulted in a collapse value of 50 points.
"System, give me a five-draw combo! You know what I mean." Lu Zhenyuan muttered to himself.
The tape began to spin rapidly in my conscious field of vision.
"stop!"
Five negatives were enlarged to show the objects inside.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning a watermelon. Do you want to collect it? ]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning five boxes of tea. Do you want to pick them up? ]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning a pair of anti-collision locks. Do you want to pick them up? ]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning five boxes of hand cream. Do you want to pick them up? ]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning a box of super invincible stinky tofu. Do you want to pick it up? ]
Lu Zhenyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. It must be said that this system was sometimes quite reliable.
Is it a bit strange to eat watermelon in the middle of winter? Never mind, the most important thing is that I got the anti-collision lock.
Why give so much tea? Well, I'll keep one box at home and share the rest with Aunt Mei and the others. Same with the hand cream. Stinky tofu? And super stinky tofu! ?
【Super Stinky Tofu】: The stinky smell will remain for ten days after you eat it!
Lu Zhenyuan shook his head. The stench had not dissipated for ten days. Was this a stink bomb?
I glanced out the window and an idea suddenly came to my mind.
"hey-hey."
After informing his cheap sister that he was going out, he went out with the cloth bag he had specially prepared.
Lu Wanyi came out of the inner room, opened her mouth, looked at the living room which had disappeared and sighed. Why did this cheap brother become so irritable again?
When Lu Zhenyuan left home, he didn't actually go far, not even out of the courtyard gate.
After all, it was not safe outside at this time, and he was afraid that he would be abducted by force because his arms were not strong enough to twist the thighs.
He ran to the narrow courtyard at the entrance and started exercising in the courtyard. When the time was almost up and he made sure that no one was passing by, he took out all the things he had extracted, put them into a cloth bag and packed them up to go home.
Lu Wanyi stared at the big watermelon in a daze. It was winter!
She knew where these things came from without asking. They must have come from her stepbrother's uncles and aunts. That is... that is...
I opened my mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.
She also discovered that her step-brother's uncles and aunts seemed to be a little too nice to him. They wouldn't be like that to their own son, right?
It was precisely because of this sincere concern that made her feel uncomfortable asking questions. After all, no matter how old her adopted brother was, asking him questions would be seen as forcing him.
Oh, forget it, never mind.
She could feel that her stepbrother's uncles and aunts were just like Aunt Mei. Their kindness to her stepbrother came from the heart, and she had noticed it.
Those so-called uncles and aunts, whether it was Zheng Weihong or Aunt Mei, all treated their stepbrother with a hint of respect. Even though they concealed it very well, it really couldn't be faked.
That kind of respect was not acted, but more like an instinct, and that is why it is impossible to perfectly cover up the past.
She only discovered it after having been in contact with it for a long time, otherwise it would be difficult to detect.
Lu Wanyi was in a daze when she was awakened by her adopted brother.
Lu Zhenyuan directed his cheap sister to install the anti-collision lock, which is a dual-structure anti-collision lock with gears and support rods. The components need to be fixed above the door frame and the door body. After locking, the support rod connecting the door frame to the door body will be stretched to prevent the door from being pushed open.
There is a double door at the entrance, and there is a lock between the doors. When the two doors are locked together, it is equivalent to doubling the resistance. Not to mention people, even a cow cannot break in as long as the door is not broken.
Due to height limitations, I had to ask my cheap sister to install it, and she had to stand on a stool.
Fortunately, the tools are matched.
Seeing his cheap sister struggling to tighten the seven-centimeter-long screw, Lu Zhenyuan felt helpless. A total of eight such screws were needed to fix the door frame.
There are only less than five centimeters on the door panel, but six screws are still needed.
No matter whether it is the wood of the door frame or the wood of the door panel, they are both very hard!
It took Lu Wanyi more than half an hour to finally install the anti-collision lock, and her tender little hands were covered with blisters.
But she didn't care about it. She stared at the thing she installed, thought about it, guessed the function of this thing, and couldn't help but look at her younger brother.
"You went out just to ask your uncles for this thing?"
"Well, it is."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Lu Wanyi was considerate and didn't ask any more questions. After understanding how to use the mechanism, she actually tried it out.
Sure enough, when she went to pull the door, it didn't move at all.
"Then how to open it?"
"Pull it down harder and the blocking rod will pop out."
Lu Wanyi did as she was told and continued to pull the lever down, and then the lever bounced back automatically.
She tried to open the door and it opened immediately.
"It is indeed convenient to use, but the lever is a little high. I have to stand on a stool to reach it." Lu Wanyi thought about it, went into the inner room, found a red rope, and tied it to the lever. This way, she could lock and unlock it even while standing on the ground.
Lu Zhenyuan gave a thumbs up.
Lu Wanyi was very happy that her work was praised, but when she looked to the side, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But it was Xiao Yuyan who was lying on the big watermelon, looking extremely cute.
"Sister Wanyi, please cut the watermelon. Yuyan looks so greedy. I'm going to go to the opposite door." Lu Zhenyuan said as he picked up a can on the table.
"Why are you going across there?"
Hearing that her younger brother was going to the house opposite, Lu Wanyi immediately stopped him and asked.
"Send something, it's what a good neighbor does." Having said that, Lu Zhenyuan didn't give his cheap sister a chance to continue asking questions and just ran out.
Lu Wanyi looked at her adopted brother's back and always felt that things were not as simple as he said. She thought she knew her brother very well and that he was not someone who would suffer any loss.
Sending gifts so soon after a conflict probably means he has no good intentions.
Of course, even though she thought so, she had no intention of stopping it. If something really happened, she, as the elder sister, would have to take care of it.
Most importantly, she believed that her younger brother knew what to do.
And it can indeed be said that Lu Zhenyuan had bad intentions, but it depends on how you look at it. If it were Yan Bugui, he might even have to thank him.
Without walking around the corridor, he went straight through the yard to Yan Bugui's house and knocked on the door.
Well, we are polite.
The door opened with a creak, revealing the figure of Yan Bugui.
"Who is it? Who is knocking on our door?"
"..."
Seeing Yan Bugui not bowing his head, Lu Zhenyuan seriously suspected that the old man was doing it on purpose. Helplessly, he had to remind him, "Bow your head!"
Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and lowered his head, as if he had just seen Lu Zhenyuan, with a look of surprise.
"It's you. I can't see you without my glasses. What's wrong? Do you have something to ask us?"
Lu Zhenyuan had no intention of arguing with him, and directly handed the box to him. "I thought about it. Although the fault of the previous incident was all your family's, I won't bother with your family since you are new here."
"After all, we will be neighbors next door to each other in the future. It is better to resolve grievances than to create them. Take this box of stinky tofu as a gift for meeting each other."
Yan Bugui was stunned for a second, feeling that something was wrong, but when he saw the box in front of him that looked like a can, he immediately reached out to take it with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Let me introduce myself to you formally. My name is Yan Bugui. I am a teacher. You can call me Teacher Yan."
Hey! This Yan Bugui really knows how to climb up the slope.
Lu Zhenyuan nodded, "Okay, Old Yan, my name is Lu Zhenyuan, we'll be brothers from now on, you can call me Old Lu."
"???"
Without waiting for Yan Bugui to react, Lu Zhenyuan waved his hand and walked home.
But he seemed to remember something after walking a few steps, and turned back and said, "By the way, we don't lend anything to others. If you want to borrow something from us, go to the family in the main house in the middle courtyard. They have two cooks and everything they need."
Yan Bugui nodded blankly and watched Lu Zhenyuan leave.
It was not until Lu Zhenyuan returned to the house that he came back to his senses. He couldn't help but take a breath, "This kid is not simple. He is young but he speaks in a set way. Tsk tsk."
Looking at the tin box in his hand, he didn't care at all that he was taken advantage of verbally. He just shook his head, smiled and went back to the house.
